Description

  The present invention relates to a member service providing system, and more specifically to a member service providing system that provides a member service to a plurality of organizations for each organization.

  Conventionally, as an account registration method in a membership service providing system using a network such as the Internet, for example, an authentication method of Patent Document 1 is known.

  In recent years, for example, a system disclosed in Patent Document 2 is known as a system for facilitating communication in a predetermined organization.

JP 2008-242989 A JP 2012-128882 A

  Facilitating communication in an organization is an important issue for companies, and there is a need for a system that supports this.

Here, in recent organizations such as companies, an e-mail address (hereinafter referred to as “e-mail address”) is usually assigned to each member such as an employee.
Therefore, it is convenient to use an email address as an account name in order to uniquely identify each member in the organization.

Moreover, it is normal that each organization has acquired a unique domain for the domain of the mail address, that is, the character string after the at sign (@).
Therefore, in a system that provides a membership service for each organization, it is convenient to use the domain name as information for uniquely identifying the organization.

  As described above, in a system that provides a member service to an organization, using an email address as an account name is useful because the organization and the affiliation to which the organization belongs can be identified by a single email address.

The registration processing in the system that provides the member service to the organization can be roughly classified into two types: organization registration processing and affiliation member registration processing.
The information required for registration does not completely match between the organization registration process and the affiliation registration process. For example, in a system that collects charges for an organization, information on each individual member is required when registering the organization. In addition, it is not desirable to input the organization name and configuration freely when the affiliation is registered.
Therefore, it is assumed that completely different application methods are used for organization registration and affiliation registration. In particular, when registering an organization, hand-written information is entered on the application form etc., and the operation operator performs the registration process manually. Etc. are also carried out.

  However, systems with different application methods depending on the type of registration are difficult for users and can be a hurdle for using services.

  The present invention pays attention to the above situation, and an account registration method capable of registering organization information and affiliation information by a single application method in a system that provides a member service for each organization to the organization The purpose is to provide.

  The configuration of the present invention made to solve the above problems is an account registration method in a system that provides a predetermined service for each organization to a plurality of organizations, the system including a plurality of client terminals and And a server that performs a predetermined process in response to a request from the client terminal, and the server allows the user who wants to use the registration information to enter a predetermined item including the mail address of the organization of the user who wants to use Determining the organization to which the user wishes to belong from the entry means and the domain of the entered email address; determining whether the organization is providing the service from the determined domain; When the initial registration is determined and the initial registration is determined, the predetermined matter is notified to the operator, and an instruction from the operator is issued. Registering the organization information from a predetermined item, and tissue registration means registers the account information of the person who wants to use based on the filled-in predetermined items, is characterized by comprising a account registration means.

In the present invention, the account registration means may grant administrator authority to the account information to be stored when it is determined that the registration is the first time.
The registration information entry means includes at least a first entry form display instruction means for displaying on the client terminal a form for prompting entry of the e-mail address, and identity verification for sending an e-mail to the entered e-mail address. It is desirable to include a mail transmission means and a second entry form display means for allowing the client terminal to fill in additional items by accessing the URL described in the electronic mail.

According to the present invention, a user who wishes to use an organization inputs an email address in an organization, determines whether or not the organization is a service provided by the domain of the email address, and registers an unserviced organization by an operator by the organization registration means. Do work.
With this configuration, in the present invention, organization information registration and affiliation information registration can be performed by a single interface.

The schematic diagram showing an example of the embodiment of the present invention. The flowchart which shows the flow of the account registration process in the Example. The figure which shows the 1st form in the Example. The figure which shows the 2nd form in the Example. The figure which shows an example of other embodiment of the form which inputs the information regarding the whole structure | tissue in this invention.

Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a member service providing system 1 according to the present embodiment. The member service providing system 1 is configured such that a client terminal 2 operated by a user and a server 3 that receives requests from the client terminal 2 and provides various functions are connected by a network.

  The member service providing system 1 according to the present embodiment provides an ASP service using a WEB application. Each user who receives the service can use the member service providing system 1 by accessing a predetermined address via a WEB browser executed by the client terminal 2.

The client terminal 2 is a terminal operated by a user of the member service providing system 1. As described above, the member service providing system 1 provides a service as a WEB application, and the client terminal 2 communicates with the server 3 via the WEB browser executed by the client terminal 2.
The client terminal 2 may be a general computer, that is, a CPU, a memory, a storage device, an input / output device or the like connected by a bus, but can execute a WEB browser and communicate with the server 3. Must be a computer capable. On the other hand, if the WEB browser is executed and communication with the server 3 is possible, the client terminal 2 may be a stationary computer or a portable terminal computer.

  The server 3 is a device that provides various services in accordance with requests from the client terminal 2. The hardware configuration may be a general computer like the client terminal 2, but it is necessary to be able to communicate with the client terminal 2. However, it is not necessary to provide all the services provided by the member service providing system 1 by a single device, and the server 3 may be configured by a plurality of computers.

  In other words, account information, organization information, and other information managed by the member service providing system 1 are recorded in a relational database management system (RDBMS) provided in the server 3. As described above, a plurality of servers 3 are provided. The computer that communicates with the client terminal 2 and the computer that operates the RDBMS may be separated. Further, other than RDBMS may be used as a means for recording information.

The member service providing system 1 according to the present embodiment assumes a company as a target organization for providing a service. Therefore, in the description items to be described later, it is configured so that the content that assumes the company is described to the user who wants to use it. However, when the target is an organization other than the company, or even if it is a company, it is a company in a specific industry, etc. When providing a service, the items described may be changed as appropriate.
As specific contents of the service, communication between employees, sharing of in-house information, and the like are assumed.

As described above, the member service providing system 1 according to the present embodiment provides a member service in units of organizations. At this time, the member service providing system 1 provides services to a plurality of organizations. .
Therefore, when the member service providing system 1 uses the member service providing system 1, the member service providing system 1 can not only uniquely identify the user from other users but also change the organization to which the user belongs. Need to be uniquely identifiable. In this embodiment, by using an email address as information for uniquely identifying a user, not only the user but also the organization to which the user belongs can be uniquely identified.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a flow of processing in the account registration method of the present embodiment.
A user who wants to use the member service providing system 1 first accesses the server 3 from a predetermined URL using the WEB browser of the client terminal 2.

  When the server 3 receives the access to the URL, the server 3 executes the first form input unit S01 to display the first form on the WEB browser of the client terminal 2.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the first form is used to fill in items necessary for the personal identification and second form display described later. As a specific input item, only an e-mail address may be used, but an identification password or a character string for image authentication may be included.

  When a user who wishes to use fills in the necessary information on the first form, the WEB browser of the client terminal 2 transmits the description content of the form to the server 3.

  The server 3 executes the identity verification means S02 by receiving the entry items of the first form.

The identity verification means S02 verifies the items entered by the first form input means S01, and if there are no deficiencies, the identity confirmation means S02 temporarily stores the described items in the server 3 and sends the entered e-mail address to the confirmation described later. Send an email.
On the other hand, if there is a deficiency, the client terminal 2 displays that the deficiency exists.

  The confirmation e-mail includes a URL for continuing the account registration process. When the URL is accessed from the client terminal 2, the server 3 executes the initial registration determination unit S03.

The initial registration determination unit S03 extracts a character string after the at sign (@) in the domain, that is, the email address, from the email address entered by the first form input unit S01. This domain is used in the member service providing system 1 as information for uniquely identifying the organization to which the user belongs.
Next, information relating to the organization that currently provides the service is searched based on the extracted domain. If the corresponding organization exists, the service is currently being provided. After the determination, the server 3 executes the second form input unit S04.

The second form input means S04 is for causing the user who wishes to fill in the information required for registering account or organization information to the member service providing system 1 but not requiring entry in the first form. is there.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, information on the entire organization such as an organization name, an address, and an arbitrary code for judging the type of business, information on an arbitrary department in the organization, and account registration are performed. This is information about individuals who wish to use it.

The information related to the entire organization described above can only display information recorded by the server 3 without displaying a form for filling in when the organization information is registered.
Similarly, for information on departments and the like, departments already registered by other users can be displayed as input candidates on the second form.
In addition, when the user who wants to use selects a department displayed as an input candidate as a department to which the applicant wishes to belong, the name of the user who has management authority in the member service providing system 1 for the department is displayed. May be.
The first form input means S01, the person confirmation means S02, and the second form input means S04 may be executed by the server 3 as one registration information input means when the identity confirmation is unnecessary.
Further, at the time of initial registration, the second form may be composed of two forms for inputting information on the entire organization and information on individual users. At this time, if the form for inputting information related to the entire organization is configured as shown in FIG. 5, and after the input to the form is completed, the information related to the individual user is input in the form shown in FIG. Regardless of whether you register for the first time, you can use a common form to enter information about individual users.

When the entry to the second form by the user who wishes to use is completed, the server 3 receives the contents of the entry items from the client terminal 2.
At this time, when the initial registration is determined by the initial registration determination unit S03, the server 3 executes the organization registration unit S04.

The organization registration unit S04 records information related to the organization to which the user belongs prior to the account registration of the individual who wishes to use the organization.
When the organization registration unit S04 is executed, the server 3 notifies the operation operator of the member service providing system 1 about the items entered in the first and second forms. In this embodiment, this communication is performed using electronic mail, but the communication means is not limited to electronic mail.
The operation operator who has received the e-mail determines whether or not organization registration is possible and gives an instruction to the server 3. At this time, if necessary, the user may be contacted to confirm the entered items.
The instruction to the server 3 is made when the server 3 displays a predetermined instruction screen on the computer for the operation operator, and the operation operator selects registration or registration refusal on the screen.
In the case of registration, the server 3 records information on the organization from the contents of the first and second forms, that is, the domain, the information on the entire organization, and the information on each department. The means S05 is executed.
On the other hand, when the registration is rejected, an e-mail indicating that registration cannot be performed is transmitted to the e-mail address input in the first form, and the process is terminated.

The account registration unit S05 is executed when the organization information is registered, or when the initial registration determination unit S03 does not determine the initial registration, and the information regarding the individual who desires to use and the information regarding the affiliation of the individual who desires to use the account. That is, information about the organization to which the user belongs and the department to which the user belongs is recorded.
When the organization information is registered, the administrator authority in the member service providing system 1 for the organization may be given to the registered account.
By completing the execution of the account registration means S05, the account registration of the user who wishes to use is completed.

In the present embodiment, as described above, organization registration and account registration are performed using a common interface. If necessary, the organization registration and the account registration can be performed by one entry procedure by adopting a configuration that allows selection as a display or input candidate without re-inputting information that has already been registered as necessary. The person who registered the organization usually needs to register an account as a single member service user, but in this embodiment, both can be done simultaneously by one entry procedure, so it is easy for the user to use. An interface can be provided.
In addition, each user's personal information to be entered when registering each user's account can be corrected by each user, even if there are incomplete descriptions, etc. It is desirable to be able to do it. In this embodiment, when the organization information is registered, it is configured to perform this according to the instruction of the operation operator, thereby enabling a strict examination of the organization information and simple and immediate account registration of the personal information. To do.

In addition, the structure of this invention is not restricted to the said Example.
For example, in the present embodiment, only the email address is entered in the first form, but the password for authentication is also entered in this, and the password is entered when accessing the URL sent by the identity verification means S02. May be.
Other specific configurations are not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
